All it is doing is exposing what a pretentious douchebag the OP is on here and probably in real life.

Horse shite.

4th and 1 with 0 timeouts is a hell of a lot different than 4th and 10 with 3 timeouts.

This thread backfired.
What idiot wouldn't take the points when you have 3 timeouts left and you know the opponent's going to keep it on the ground.

a. sometimes doing suboptimal things work out. that doesn't make it the right play

b. in real time the argument was "well this way he's not playing for OT". his team ended up in OT. so if i accept your argument, it failed anyway because the goal was to avoid OT, which they ended up playing in.

blah blah blah, blah blah blah


In real time the team that made the decision won the game. Why do they play again Herm? To win.


All the other words you've typed for 8 pages is just a attempt to cya.

Isn't it easier to say yeah I didn't like the decision but it worked? Even though I think Jim Caldwell is a idiot. Which I agree with.


Much easier to do IMO but you do you SFP.

it's not about liking or disliking a decision. he made a decision that was very wrong in terms of statistics

again, i'll use the poker analogy. you can push all in while behind in a hand with 5 outs, because this is a free country. hell you may even hit (you will win slightly better than 1 in 10 hands), but that doesn't make it the rational decision.

this is about math, statistics, and data. opinions have nothing to do with it

so is this your new thing? you're going to go after every coach every time they punt inside the opponents 50?

Football fans who turn the game into brain surgery are the dumbest of all fans in general.

haven't there been studies that say you should never punt and always go for 2?

I agree, it works in baseball but I'm not so sure about football.
